which is better (more durable), electronic controls or the mechanical timer/buttons?
we have a GE with electronic controls. the board failed after 2 years and it was replaced in warranty, but we paid labor. the board would have been 200$ which is ridiculous IMO. the technician said those boards fail very often.
so now I'm getting a second dishwasher for another apartment and I chose a frigidaire tall-tub, good model but with mechanical controls. are they more reliable?
also, what are the chances of the motors on the dishwasher failing? we got an extended warranty for the dishwasher, but I'm thinking of cancelling it.
